NEW YORK, April 18, 2014 – Four ties among teams that finished the 2013-14 NBA regular season with identical records were broken today through random drawings to help determine the order of selection for the 2014 NBA Draft, which will be held on Thursday, June 26.

The drawings were conducted earlier today in New York City by Jason Cahilly, NBA Chief Strategic and Financial Officer, and Dan Rube, NBA Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel. The tiebreak process was overseen by Darrington Hobson, a representative from the accounting firm of Ernst & Young.

The results of the drawings:

Utah (25-57) won a tiebreaker with Boston.

Brooklyn (44-38) won a tiebreaker with Washington.

Chicago (48-34) won a tiebreaker with Toronto.

Portland (54-28) won a tiebreaker with Miami and Houston; Houston then won a tie-breaker with Miami.

*Please note that teams that finished the regular season with identical records will select in the second round in the reverse of the order in which they select in the first round, provided, that if more than two teams are tied, then, as among the tied teams, each tied team will select one position earlier than it selected in the first round, except that the tied team that selected earliest in the first round shall, among the tied teams, select latest in the second round. With respect to the tie between Boston and Utah (25 and 57; 0.305 pct.): since the order of selection in the first round for this set of teams may change based on the results of the Draft Lottery, the order of selection in the second round cannot be determined until after the Draft Lottery is conducted (on May 20, 2014).
